I subtly raised my parasol and placed it over her head. Nobody gave me any attention, as if it was natural.
Thanks to that, I was able to eavesdrop on their conversation.
“Thank you for attending.”
“The honor is mine, to spend time with Marianne.”
Hmm, pointless chatter.
They moved onto the boat. I quickly followed them.
The inside was already filled with an elaborate tea table. Due to the gazebo, I also folded my parasol and stepped aside. Fortunately, I was still close to Marianne.
Everyone sat around the table, and the maids, including myself, poured tea into their cups. They exchanged pleasantries.
“Our tailor made new clothes, and the silk is so fine. It turns out it was imported from the top suppliers owned by the Smiron family. Why is it that everything from the Smiron family is of such overwhelming quality?”
Not pleasantries, but flattery.
“Haha, we pay attention to every detail.”
“You’re overflowing with dignity, and also good at business. You’re really amazing.”
“Thank you for seeing me that way.”
Marianne elongated the end of her sentence with a nasal tone.
The majority of the nobles gathered here were trying to forge some connection with the Smiron family, weren’t they? Clearly so.
After each person took turns flattering her, Marianne looked very pleased.
Marianne cleared her throat, and everyone focused on her.
“Thank you all for coming to my tea party. I also have something prepared for you. It’s boring just drinking tea, isn’t it?”
She wore a suggestive smile, then clapped twice.
Then, young men in neat attire emerged from inside the boat. They didn’t look like nobles, but they all had handsome appearances.
“Jacob, come here.”
Marianne gestured toward the most attractive man among them.
The man called Jacob sat next to Marianne with a bright smile, as if they were already close. The rest of the men also naturally took their seats at the tea table and began chatting with the ladies.
So, today was a sort of entertainment.
I recalled the conversation I had with Edrish this morning.
〈Why not just have a tea party at home? Why go to the trouble of going on a boat? It’s bothersome.〉
〈Well, it could be to show off their wealth. Or maybe they want to do something they don’t want others to see.〉
Back then, I didn’t understand Edrish’s words, but now I get it.
So, it meant hanging out with good-looking commoner men, something one couldn’t do outside because of the ladies’ reputation.
Oh my, look at that arm touching. Quite indecent.
However, naturally, no one could stop them. The tea party continued to liven up.
“Hey, come wipe this up.”
“Yes.”
I was wiping up the tea I had spilled while responding to another lady’s request.
Marianne’s laughter, filled with nasal tones that I had been hearing throughout, suddenly stopped.
“What is this?”
Her voice sounded differently bright. She was pointing at muffins on the table.
Why? They look delicious. Are they stale?
Silence filled the table. Everyone was watching Marianne, probably thinking the same as I was.
“I asked, what is this?”
The maid standing behind her approached and bowed her head, but she too seemed clueless.
Marianne slammed the table. The teacups rattled noisily.
“Don’t you know I hate lemon? Then why would you dare put lemon muffins right in front of me? Are you trying to mock me?”
“No, that’s not it.”
“So, are you saying I misunderstood? Are you implying that I’m stupid?”
Wow, what a leap and a stretch.
“I’m, I’m sorry.”
Despite the maid probably having no say in the menu or its arrangement, she bowed deeply.
“Sorry? So you admit you’re trying to mock me?”
Marianne slowly stood up.
The head maid hurriedly came and bowed.
“Marianne, I’m truly sorry. This is my fault.”
“No, it’s too late for apologies. Bring the gloves.”
“Marianne, please don’t do this to me……”
“Bring the gloves now!”
Marianne shouted like thunder.
The maid who was berated by Marianne earlier quickly brought gloves, trembling as she fit them onto Marianne’s hands.
Marianne picked up the lemon muffin with her hands covered in pristine satin gloves.
“Eat.”
Her eyes flickered. It was terrifying.
“Marianne.”
“What? You want to eat it instead? Is that what you want?”
The head maid tried to stop her once again but ultimately stepped back, probably because she knew there was no way to stop her now.
The maid, with a near-tearful face, took the muffin and placed it in her mouth.
“Aren’t you going to eat quickly?”
Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
